Chords for Guardian Angel The Judds 1994

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ One of the things that Wynonna and I love so much about country music is that it's real stories about real people.
And this next song really is a true story.
I wrote it about some folks who lived in Louisa, Kentucky, way back in the 1800s.
The little boy on the right is my granddaddy, that's Ogden Judd, sitting at the knee of his grandparents, Elijah and Fanny Judd.
They lived in a simple time.
Their lives centered around [Ab] hard work, family, and religious faith.
I call them my guardian angels. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ A hundred-year-old foal _ [Db]
Stares out from a frame
[Ab] And if you look real close you'll see Her [Eb] eyes are just the same
[Ab] I've never met them face to face [Db] But I still know [Bbm] them well
[Eb] From the stories my dear grandma [Ab] would tell _ _ _ _ _
Elijah was _ a man of great wisdom He knew [Eb]
how to make things [Db] grow
[Ab] And by eve out she'd follow him _ [Eb]
Wherever he would go
_ [Ab] His flames trimmed out they never left [Db] Their small [Bbm] Kentucky _ farm
But he [Eb] kept [Db] her fed _ [Eb] _ _
She kept [Ab] him warm _ _
_ [Eb] They're my _ [Db] guardian _ angels [Ab] I know they [Eb] can see
_ _ Every [Gm] step I [Fm] take _ [Db] They are all too [Eb] old to be
_ _ _ _ I might [Ab] not know where [Eb] I'm going _ [Gb] But [Db] I'm sure where [Db] I come _ from _ _
_ [Ab] They're my guardian _ angels _ _ And _ [Eb] _
I'm a very [Ab] special one _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Sometimes when I'm tired I [Db] feel the light to take my _ arm
[Ab] He says keep on going hard work [Eb] Never dare to body _ harm
[Ab] When I'm really troubled _ [Db] And I don't know what [Bbm] to do
[Fm] And he [F] whispers [Db] just do your best _ [Eb] We're all so proud of you
_ [Ab] _ _ _
[Eb] They're my _ guardian [Db] _
angels [Ab] And I know they [Eb] can see
_ _ [Ab] Every [Gm] step [Fm] I take _ They [Db] are all too old [Eb] to be
_ _ _ I might [Ab] not know where [Gm] I'm going But [Gb] I'm sure where [Db] I come _ from _ _
They're [Ab] my _ guardian [Db] _
angels _ And _ _ [Eb] I'm a very [Ab] special _ _ [Eb] one _
A [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ hundred year old foal _ _ [Db] Stares out from every _ frame
